Waste is a sign that we are acting improperly. The evidence is simply buried in landfills and burned in incinerators, regardless of their fancy names.
The fundamental issue that has to be addressed is overconsumption and its most obvious by-product, the waste culture. We must stop purchasing items we do not need, and businesses must cease producing items that cannot be recycled in some way, rather than striving to find more complex ways to eliminate waste.
In the meantime, the throwaway culture is not only causing a local garbage catastrophe, but it is also causing a worldwide crisis. What better place to begin with, by producing Zero waste, which is a must for a sustainable society?!
What does the Zero Waste approach entail?
The Zero Waste plan rejects mega-landfills, incinerators, and the disposable society in favour of one that is sustainable. People will argue about how close to zero we can achieve, but the important thing is to make it our objective. Or, to put it another way, how much waste do you believe is acceptable in light of the demands of future generations?
Zero waste is a new path beyond everything else. Moving from the back end of resource management and improved industrial design, to the front end of solid waste disposal is necessary.
How can we move towards zero waste?
Although, working towards zero waste is a project that is always expanding and changing, starting doesn't have to cause a significant lifestyle upheaval.
Here, are only three adjustments you can do to reduce your carbon footprint right away, and use as a foundation for a longer-term strategy.
· Use of Glass Jars
In the kitchen, glass jars are a great method to store dried items. They may be used again and again. They can also be brought to retailers that sell loose products and filled there directly, saving on additional packing.
· Use tote bags for groceries
You may help reduce the annual usage and disposal of billions of plastic and paper bags, by using reusable cloth bags. They don't have to be expensive to purchase, and if cared for properly and cleansed, they may endure for years. Additionally, you might construct your own bags from used fabric sheets or shirts, to earn full zero-waste brownie points.
· Give reusable items priority
To lessen plastic pollution, reusable alternatives can be used in place of many other single-use goods found in daily life. Instead, of using the lightweight disposable straws that break after one or two drinks, get some robust plastic or metal ones.
Instead of depending on bottled water when travelling, invest in a quality reusable water bottle and fill it up before leaving the house. Use old rags for cleaning instead of single-use cloths, or go back to using washable handkerchiefs, instead of paper tissues.
With some consideration, there are countless alternatives.
A fourth R
The three R’s (Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle) are known to the majority of people, but the fourth R—responsibility—hold the secret to sustainability. We require civic, industrial, professional, social, and political responsibility in addition to individual accountability.
To solve the problem, we need both industrial and community responsibility, and to bring these two together, we need strong political leadership. We also require participation from every sector of the economy, since this problem is too significant to be left to the restricted expertize of "waste specialists."
